Pots of results, and none are the ones you want

Amazon is so dumb when it comes to search and taste matching. All that brain-power and technology they have at their fingertips, and they can’t even let you search for “Potteries” or “the Potteries”, instead defaulting to results for 19,000 books about pottery. Nope, The Potteries, the place. We exist, we’re a major city, books have been written about us, some of which have “Potteries” in their titles. Nor can one use search modifiers ‘-pottery’ or ‘NOT pottery’ to exclude all the pottery making and archaeology books.
